John Reid & Sons (Strucsteel) Ltd has scooped top honours as a winner in the prestigious Structural Steel Design Awards for a super-hangar at London Biggin Hill Airport.

The celebrations began after the Award was announced at a glittering ceremony in London with members of our team in attendance.

An Award is the top honour, followed by a Commendation and then a Merit so we are ecstatic that the hangar claimed this prize in a field boasting some exceptional British structural engineering projects.

Our delegation on the night included a cross-section of employees representing the entire company from the workshops, offices, design office, and other departments, including John Harrison and Richard Hanson.

It was a true ‘one team’ effort by ourselves, main contractor Civils Contracting Limited, Biggin Hill Airport and BOMBARDIER.

The twin-cantilever maintenance hangar is the largest of its kind in the UK and impressed judges with its innovative design, value engineering, environmental credentials and elegant façade.

Well done to everyone involved. This […]

Poole-based firms Actisense – Active Research Limited and Aeronautical & General Instruments Limited are on the shortlist along with Trimetals Ltd of Blandford.

As headline sponsor of this newly created category for 2017, it was tough to pick the trio and all are richly deserving of their success in making the shortlist.

Our Managing Director Simon Boyd, who visited the nominees to assist in judging, said: “Well done to everyone at Actisense, Aeronautical & General Instruments and Trimetals on reaching the shortlist.
